Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：policy discourse、academic texts、news reporting 通常用于正式或书面语境，尤其在经贸、政治政策讨论中；日常口语较少见。若指放宽具体规则，也可说“loosening restrictions”，但“liberalization”本身仍偏正式。
Pronunciation & Spelling
上述词中 organization、globalization、modernization、civilization 都以与 liberalization 相同的重读结尾 /-ˈzeɪʃən/ 结尾，因此押韵。注意：liberal 和 liberate 因同源词根 liber- 而拼写相似，但重音在首音节，结尾不同，不与之押韵。
